Tech Broker improvement

First off - this game is not subscription based, so why is there added grind in the form of collection quests when it's not absolutely necessary, or can be made fun? I'm looking at the technology broker. Let's take the Shock Cannon as an example - there are NINE variants, each of which having no unique differences from one another other than size and being fixed/turret/gimballed.

This is RIDICULOUS. Why can you only unlock one, but not all the rest? Why do I have to spend hours and hours searching for technetium? Going to geological sites was fun the first few times, but now it's a slog.

Pile all variants of each weapon into one unlock - one single shock cannon of all sizes, fixed, gimballed, and turreted, one gauss cannon, one plasma charger, one shard cannon.
 
Gotta agree with that, at least mostly. I can kiiiinda see how different sizes of the same weapons would require extra research, but as far as gimbals and turrets go, that technology is pretty widely understood. I don’t understand why it would be like “oh geez, you want a TURRETED version? I only have the blueprints for a fixed weapon!”
 
Tech Brokers are just greedy basturds... kinda' like modern day banks... you want to get your money out twice in one week; that'll be more money...
